I'm exploring how aspects of truth and fantasy are central to an understanding of tragedy in a play I'm studying, but having some troubles.
It is though, not only Blanche’s imagination that leads to the tragedy (or tragedies) – Stella’s belief that Stanley will regain his initial, non-violent qualities is potential key factor. Unfortunately, Williams uses ambiguity at the end of the play, and we never discover whether Stanley does indeed reform, or whether Stella continues living an unstable, unhappy life. In some ways Stella’s character is similar to Blanche’s; both are naive and gullible, focusing solely on optimism and disregarding any form of ‘realism’ because of their insecurity. Nevertheless, the title of the play “A Streetcar Named Desire” suggests Stella shall not obtain her desire: for Stanley to revert back to his old self. This strongly supports the significant theme of hopefulness, and tragedy is (arguably) implied through the relationship – although we are not enlightened on the final missing segment of the story (the turnout of the aggressive relationship), most would argue that it would inevitably end as a tragedy, as subtle as this notion may be. In reality, the relationship experienced in the play is clearly antagonistic and almost devoid of any chance of improvement, but Stella, similarly to Blanche, refuses to distinguish want from have and so disdains the impossibility of recovery. Neither can admit to their weaknesses therefore introducing tragedy in another form. Admitting weaknesses equates to admitting truth. Truth is therefore not confessed. Reality, conversely, is existent and unchangeable.
The whole thing is not clear and needs rewording. Thanks for anyone who is bored enough to help.

Stanley? And I don't know, actually, what is it about, but seems to be clear... in my head, at least...

Well, I'm pretty sure it's an American play novel but some of the characters were originally from Poland. It's about immigration really.

two plus two does actually equal 100. In binary, that is. :P

Moron, of course there is (the number two, that is, not the symbol)! Just like you can write one hundred in decimal even though you only have ten symbols at your disposal, you can write the number two in binary. Two written in binary is "10". You are quite right that the value two does not have a symbol in binary, but it is entirely possible to write it using a combination of the symbols 0 and 1, just like all other numbers. You have to understand the difference between the number 'two', and the symbol '2' to get this, and I think even you can accomplish this.

two + two = four:
Decimal: 2 + 2 = 4
Binary: 10 + 10 = 100

Idiot

My favourite number is five. Because of its connection with the pentagram, also known as the pentacle. My favourite kind of star. The one with five points.

And now, for this:
